2nd Service

[squirrelGTi]

Hey guys,

Got her booked in for it's 2nd service. They said that the car was due an air con service (£70). Basically a re-gas. I've only done 13k, surely they don't need a re-gas every 2 years like they said?

Have you guys been told the same?

Mina had its second service a month ago and the dealer also did an air con service and recharge.

The service will clear out the debris that collects, replace the filter plus there is always a small leakage with aircon systems.

The aircon is working much better now, but its was included in my service plan, so didn't have to pay anything extra.

My second service included a change of pollen filter.
Although they tried to charge extra for it, they relented when I said I could get it done elsewhere cheaper so price matched instead!

Cheers for the replies. Maybe i'll just get it done then.

Cost me £350 for the second service including Air Con.  Never changed the Air Filter though at nearly 40k on the clock, so bought one myself and changed it.  Was black and horrid looking.

The filter should be black as it is a charcoal filter, if the filter you bought was white then that is the wrong one for the Electronic Climate Control.

Mines had it's second service and there was no mention of a re gas although i did take out the service pack! Coincidence..............

They did ask me if i was on a service pack before mentioning that it needs a re-gas every 2 yrs.

I think he was on about his Air Filter.
